Brand Spakin' Newbie.....

My Fellow Geocachers....

 

I am a brand spakin' nebie in the Geocaching game and wondered if any of you had any pointers for me. It would be especially helpful if they were designed to help me with urban caches, specificly in the Seattle area. Tanks!

 

Happy Hunting!

Well the best thing to do is start off with

1-1 caches until you get a few under your belt, then try some a little harder

You are in a great area to start out in. We have quite a few expert cachers here and the variety of caches will keep you busy for a long time.

 

It depends on how urban you want to get. There are so many little known parks in the area and quite a few have caches. Then for the more daring there are some right in downtown Seattle. In fact there is at least one I know of at Safeco Field.

 

 

If ignorance is bliss, why aren't there more happy people??

If it seems to be a long walk/hike to find the cache, take along, some water, munchies, maybe even a first aid kit. Have fun with it...and if at first you don't succeed, try again.

There are a lot of seattle cachers. Just enjoy yourself. Urban caches are fun although usually micro caches or virtual ones. Virtuals are usually very easy but micros can be difficult to spot at times.

 

When they do a little geo-event attend it. Meet other cachers in your area. I havn't met any I don't get along with yet. Great bunch of people.
